0:00.0	So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting,
0:04.4	whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product.
0:10.5	Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7.
0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I had a question from someone that wanted to know why do I have twitching now that I started kido?
0:49.0	So what is twitching or tettney? It's these little nerve impulses that can happen anywhere in the body,
0:55.5	random, and they're kind of like a pulsating little contraction. It can happen here,
1:01.6	it can happen on your arm, it can happen on your leg, but basically
1:06.7	it's either a lack of certain electrolytes or it's a pH problem.
1:14.2	Now when the pH becomes too far one direction,
1:17.7	with this situation, we're talking about
1:19.2	to alkaline, calcium can start building up on the nerve and affect the impulses.
1:27.0	And that's why adding outside of vinegar or kombuiche tea, which are acidifiers will usually help this condition.
1:33.0	However, when you start doing keto, ketones are acidic.
1:39.0	So the chances are it's not the pH. It's the
1:43.2	problem. It's the electrolytes.
1:45.8	Because there is one key group of nutrients
1:48.0	that you definitely need more of when you do keto
1:50.3	and that is electrolytes. So if you have low magnesium or low calcium,
1:55.0	which by the way could be because you have low potassium,
1:59.4	those loss of electrolytes are the most likely cause of tetany. So if you're doing keto and you're not
2:06.0	doing electrolytes or you're not doing enough vegetables that normally have the minerals in them, that's why you have the twitching. So in summary, beef up your vegetables,
2:16.5	no pun intended, or take some electrolytes and that should handle it. Thanks for watching.
